Answer: He should decline production of the machine.
Explanation:
Analyzing the problem, we can determine if he should proceed or not by calculating the Net present value. That is present value of the machine in terms of perpetuity as it will be used forever and the cost incurred in its production.
Given the following ;
To manufacture $200 = 1 year, meaning
Amount or yearly payment = $200
Cost of machine = $2,000
Interest rate(r) = 11.5% = 0.115
Recall;
Present the value if perpetuity ;
(Payment per period ÷ rate)
= $200 ÷ 0.115 = $1739.13
Net present value = $1,739.13 - $2000 = - 260.87
Given the negative value of NPV, the cost outweighs the benefit, hence, he should decline.
I believe the answer is: Long Term Care Benefit rider
Long Term Care Benefit rider would obtain a certain amount of benefit if somehow they require direct daily care when unable to provide it for themselves. But the amount of benefit that is given usually would be deducted from the amount of the insured's death benefit.
Answer: 7%
Explanation:
The following can be deduced.from the question:
Loan amount = $9,600
Equity = $9,600
Market price = $48 per share
Total investment = $19,200
Growth of Investment = 5%.
We then calculate value of the investment in a year. This.will be:
= 19,200 × 1.05
= $20,160
Interest on the loan would be:
= $9,600 * 0.03
= $288
Therefore, rate of return will be:
= (20,160 - 9,600 - 288)/9,600 - 1
= 0.07 = 7%
Answer:
Presence or threat of trade barriers
Explanation:
If a company sees that a specific country has a presence or threat of trade barriers, the company will prefer to invest directly in foreign companies, instead of exporting.
This is because trade barriers, like tariffs or import quotas, will likely reduce the potential revenue that the company would get from exporting. It could reduce revenue so much as to make the company lose money.
I would say that b is the best answer
